Trent Williams fires his agent

The Redskins have signed four of their six drafts picks. A fifth --linebacker Perry Riley -- says he could sign as early as Thursday afternoon. But that sixth rookie -- first-round draft pick Trent
Williams -- will surely take a little bit longer.

That's because Williams fired his agent this week and currently has no
representation. The move was first reported by Comcast SportsNet's Kelli Johnson.

"I don't even know if they started negotiations yet," Williams said Thursday after practice. Which makes sense, considering the big left tackle is stuck between agents and can't negotiate his
rookie contract without representation. When a player switches agents, NFL Players Association rules require him to wait five days before hiring a new one.

The Redskins have made clear that it's important that their promising young tackle reports to training camp on time, so you can bet when Williams has a new agent, the team will waste little time before it starts talking numbers.

Asked to confirm the report, Williams' agent Eugene Parker said: "That's accurate. And there's nothing else I can really say about that situation." Parker said he received a letter Wednesday that indicated his services were no longer needed.

Williams was initially projected as a late first-round pick because of questions about his work ethic. During his pre-draft interviews, Parker was effective in convincing teams that Williams was worthy of a top 10 section. The Redskins selected him at No. 4, making him the first offensive lineman drafted.

"Though the move could be viewed as an impediment to Williams being signed before training camp opens, the reality is that 17 of 18 first-round picks represented by Parker have not agreed to terms before training camp opened."

Who was the old agent? (this one, at least, should've been addressed)
What are the reasons people usually fire agents?
Which seems most likely here?
What's the 411 from sources about progress to this point?
What are the most likely new agents?

Parker gets guys paid but he's one of the 'Holdout Kings'. It's a slotted system anyways so it ain't really much to negotiate...Just wait on the donk after you to sign and get a few more than him or wait for the donk before you to sign and get a few less...check the donk from last year at your number and try to get what he got and use those 3 to average it out.
